Call me old-fashioned but I prefer to take my climate advice from the 80+% of scientists who now believe that climate change is a result of mankind's actions than from some rabid TV news program. Act now and we can reverse it. Keep kicking the can down the road and your grandchildren will look back in 20 years and think what selfish idiots we were when all of the evidence was telling us exactly what we needed to do to start cleaning up our mess but we opted to ignore it just so we could continue to live our wasteful lifestyles.

Yes, it is sad that the internet is littered with posts from oldies bemoaning the fact that kids of today can't find Kamchatka on a map, yet when our generation is asked to face up to an existential threat those self-same people are falling over themselves to deny the facts and belittle those who are taking it seriously just so that they don't have to change their lifestyles.
